Was at a friend's -who's mostly into mainstream hard-riffing crap- the other night and we ended up bumming us out with this Roadrunner United DVD. Never even heard of that thing before and I wouldn't give a single fuck, but I'm kind of curious if you guys have listened to that Fate/King attempt "In the Fire". Any thoughts on it?

I guess we share the hope -maybe a quest- for something more in the music than just a certain style how to arrange riffs and that's what scared me a lot when watching this King part. Ok, we had some beers and it was late, but it felt to me like they'd break down the magic of Mercyful Fate and King Diamond on nothing more than a reproduceable technical aspect.

I will say one thing. King still sounds just as good as he did back in '84. Which is only thing that about this track, which I find closer to King Diamond stuff than Mercyful Fate, that really stands out for me. It's certainly no Doomed by the Living Dead!

These guys might be great musicians, but their music is manufactured and processed...like cheese.
